CALIBRATE YOUR MONITOR!!!!!!

Don't let good images look bad, know that your monitor is showing you the right exposures.
Here's an article on calibrating.

Joe McNally

So I'm reading this article in Digital Photo Pro about Joe McNally and his small lights lighting set-up and he mentions that he was having a problem getting enough light from his flash. Turns out he had -2 EV set on camera and didn't change it because he was shooting in manual and EV doesn't effect settings when you shoot in manual mode, BUT it will effect the flash when shooting in ttl! I thought that was very interesting and thought maybe some of you would too.

nifty lighting gadget and other interesting stuff....

Hanashiro had an article on SportsShooter about this and it looks very interesting...
http://lightwaredirect.com/index.html Thought I'd post it here for those of you who don't look at SportsShooter. There's also a great article by Doug Murdock on traveling with gear http://www.sportsshooter.com/news/2259 I particularly was interested in the part where she disconnects the trunk lever by the drivers seat.

Very good article on SportsShooter.com

Darren Carroll answers a college students question about shooting on spec. He gives some very good advice. Particularly on shooting for agencies for a split of the sales, some of these so called agencies are giving away photos so cheap that it's devaluing photography and making it very hard for those of us who do this to pay the bills to make a living.
